Hi all,
Some questions on compiling. I don't know exactly what to install (Compaq
compilers or the GNU compilers) and I don't want to ruin the installation
since it is running fine. However I want to install a newer kernel (now I
just installed a native RedHat 6.2 with kernel 2.2.14-6.0) but I would like
to know how to compile it.
What do I need to do to compile software in the best possible way? If I
install Compaq compilers, will the basic Makefiles distributed with source
tarnalls still work, or is there an 'easy' way to adapt it.
Also, will Compaq compilers replace existing ones or just add new ones.
Finally, I have one practical question: I tried to compile vnc, but it
failed with an error stating it is not possible to use some flags at the
same time (-o and -s I think it was). So I want to install a newer gcc. But
to do that I first want to know whether it would be better to install Compaq
compilers. Or would the problem lie somewhere else?
A lot of questions but actually I would like to know more about Alpha
specific compiling and optimalisation, so any inputs would be highly
appreciated...
Regards
Sam
